Melanie spent years working in the PR and Advertising space, but in 2011 she put her lifelong passion for décor and design into practise and founded Chapters International.

Responding to a largely unregulated décor and design industry, Melanie has nurtured and grown Chapters into a force for change – professionalising and upskilling the industry through skills development and the transferring of knowledge.

Melanie’s marketing expertise coupled with her discerning eye for interior design, has distinguished Chapters as a leading training platform in the industry that offers both public and custom training programmes. The company counts Hertex, Guild of Landscape Designers and Italtile among their diverse portfolio of clients.

She is currently completing the Schouten Global Training for Trainers international Certification Program, an internationally recognised course, which will enable her to add even more value for clients through Chapters.
